Chapter 14: Olivia Cooks

Brian pulled a long face, and the temperature in the car instantly dropped. Paul didn’t dare to say anything else and drove toward the company.
Just as Olivia was about to enter, Uncle Ford came out to welcome her.
“Madam, you’re not alone now, and you can’t be as noisy as you used to be. Now that you’re pregnant with Brian’s child, please take care of your body and don’t let anything happen to you.”
Olivia rolled her eyes in her heart. How could she not know? She cared about the child in her womb more than anyone else. How could she have done it on purpose? No matter how unhappy she was, she still had to put up a good front.
“Uncle Ford, it’s my fault. I’ll be more careful next time.”
She walked past Uncle Ford and went up to the second floor. Two maids came, one carrying clean clothes and the other holding a towel.
Olivia looked at the two of them and quickly understood what they meant. She followed the maid into the bathroom.
Olivia thought back to Allie’s words in the room and felt that something was wrong. Her mother had just passed away, yet Joseph had already brought back her young girl, who was two years younger than her, her biological sister.
Olivia seemed to have understood something and accidentally caught a glimpse of the news on the table. Under a few lines of words, the people in the photo were herself and Robert. She rubbed her temples. There were too many things to handle, and she had to deal with them one by one.
Her mother’s death was full of suspicious points. It couldn’t be as simple as a food issue. Even though Allie was just a small housekeeper, she couldn’t be so careless given her nutritionist license.
The most important thing now was to settle the matter of Robert and her scandalous news. There was a knock at the door.
When Olivia opened the door, Uncle Ford said solemnly, “Madam, Commander Ford is here. Please come downstairs.”
‘Grandfather?’
Olivia didn’t know why her grandfather would appear here at this time, but it made sense. There was nothing abnormal about a grandfather visiting his grandchildren.
When Olivia saw Commander Ford, she sweetly called out, “Grandfather.”
Commander Ford was very happy, and his face was full of smiles.
“Olivia, did Brian bully you?”
Olivia was confused. Did she look like she was being bullied? Why did he ask that?
Commander Ford was sure that his grandson bullied his granddaughter-in-law after seeing this.
“Girl, don’t be scared. If Brian bullies you, tell me. Don’t do anything out of line or cause others to misunderstand.”
Olivia suddenly realized that Commander Ford had come for her and Robert’s matter. From the look on his face, he did not blame her. Instead, he was a little angry at Brian.
“Grandfather, this wasn’t my intention, but someone did it on purpose. It was to sow discord between Brian and me and obtain the benefits that they wanted.”
Olivia was filled with regret. Commander Ford had always taken good care of her and treated her like his own granddaughter. She looked at the old man in front of her. Although his hair was gray on both sides, he appeared especially spirited.
“Girl, is there something on Grandpa’s face? Why are you looking at me so intently?”
Olivia hugged Commander Ford’s arm. In her heart, she had already acknowledged this old man. In this life, she would do her best to protect Mia, much less make Commander Ford feel sad.
“Grandpa, don’t you like stew? I’ll cook it for you. Take a good rest.”
Commander Ford looked at Olivia. He didn’t know when she had found out about his preferences, but he could tell that she was very concerned about him. He felt very relieved.
“You’re still pregnant. Stop making a fuss and let the servants do it.”
Olivia felt that Commander Ford doted on her too much. She wasn’t a spoiled brat who had to rely on others for everything. In her previous life, she had already become a strong woman who knew how to do everything.
“Grandpa, I haven’t been pregnant for long. It’s fine. Besides, I have something to discuss with you later.”
Only then did Commander Ford agree to Olivia’s request. He went to the study and began reading a military book. Time ticked by, and the rain stopped.
The scent of soil filled the air as the rain washed over the back garden. Uncle Ford didn’t trust Olivia at all. He watched from the side, afraid that something would happen to her.
Olivia’s practiced movements surprised Uncle Ford. Under his gaze, she completed a series of dishes effortlessly. Although it couldn’t compare to the delicacies Commander Ford had eaten in his life, it was still pleasing to the eye.
Commander Ford asked Uncle Ford to call Brian and ask him to rush back for dinner. It was already nighttime, and Brian was a little frustrated. The old man’s desire to protect her instantly rose in his heart upon seeing Olivia in the rain today.
His heart told him that he wanted to protect this woman.
Brian acted differently from usual, raising the cup in his hand and not bringing it to his mouth for a long time. The people around him were stunned.
The phone rang, and Uncle Ford heard the commotion on the other end. A trace of displeasure flashed across his face, and he prepared to leave the house to talk.
Commander Ford was observant and saw through Uncle Ford’s trick. He reached out and asked for Uncle Ford’s phone.
Uncle Ford was stunned for a moment but still handed the phone to Commander Ford.
“I’ll give you 20 minutes to show up at the villa, or you’ll never have to come back.”
An unquestionable voice came from the other end of the phone. This was not the first time Brian had heard Commander Ford’s tone. He was very obedient to his grandfather and called Paul to pick him up.
When he walked to the front desk, he realized that Laura was there as well. When Laura saw Brian, her eyes lit up. She rubbed her forehead and pretended to be drunk.
Not far away, a man saw this and walked over to Laura. Just as he was about to reach out, Brian blocked in front of Laura with a cold face. The man got a little angry.
Under the dim lights, the man could not recognize the Tyrant King in front of him.
“Which blind dog dares to block me?”
Brian’s face darkened immediately. He pulled Laura and was about to leave when the man in front of him stopped him.
“I’m asking you a question. Can’t you hear me? You better behave yourself, or I’ll make sure you can’t walk out today. Do you believe me?”
The man nudged Brian, and his voice also became louder. Some of the men who seemed to be his friends stood beside the man. After they saw Brian’s face clearly, they retreated.
